I wish the ZRX was fuel injected.

I was just talking to fellow about it this Sunday, I have an Ivan's jet kit and a Muzzy header, you give it some choke in the morning, wait 30 seconds, shut the choke off and from then on it carburates just perfect and 42 MPG.
I have never felt like I would gain much from fuel injection.

I'll stick with my Blackbird....it doesn't have that look of a "300# fat woman sitting on the front end and look at the bottomed out suspension" of the Busa which there are 4 or 5 at every light and it's exhaust does not look like it was designed for something 3 times as big as the bike.

...and it was paid for a long time ago.

I think it's an age thing.
We like bikes that aren't covered in shiny plastic and that you can see the engine.
I think the kids of the last 10 years do like the shiny plastic covered look.

Most kids these days aren't into tinkering with cars, bike, gokarts, anything other than computers.
They just want it to be "sweet" and look like some trasnformer toy.

I will definitely keep that in mind. I am looking to get another bike down the road and the ZRX is one that has had my interest since they came out.
